MAx's POV

So now here me, Tyler, Tom, and Cassandra parents sit in the waiting room of the hospital, waiting for the baby to be born. Tyler sits beside me and Tom sits across from me. I look up at him. "I thought she just got pregnant the other week?" I question him. He shook his head.

"Nah. She was at least eight months in. I was too stupid to know, and she was scared to tell me." He smiled and shakes his head, probably remembering the time she told him a baby was on the way.

I nod, and then it goes back to silence. Awkward silence, may I add. I look over at Tyler and he's knee deep in thought. Hie eyebrows are scrunched together and he is scratching his arms nervously. I'm honestly kinda worried about him. But I'm honestly not in the mood right now to get into any of his business.

After a while, I needed some fresh air. The tension in here was killing me. I stand and take a deep breath. "I think I'm going to go get some fresh air." I said, walking towards the hall to go outside.

Tyler's POV

I can't cope! What the fuck am I suppose to tell her?! Again I can't even pull myself together, and I'm thinking of what to say to her. I think I found the right words, but I'm defiantly not doing it with everyone who is in the room right now. Thomas and..... Cassandra I think? Yea, her parents.

Good gosh this girl is amazing. I'm in love with her so Fucking much and I can't cope! UGH!

Max suddenly stands and says "I think I'm going to get some fresh air." And walks down the hall. Once she's out of sight, I walk over to Thomas and pull him up by his arm. "Dude, we really need to talk." I say. He stands, but yanks his arm out of my grip. "We can talk without you putting your hands on me." He says. I sighed and gave her parents a small smile.

"We will be right back." I said. They nod and I look back at Thomas. He rolls his eyes and we walk away, down a hall. Once we are out of sight and are made sure we can't be heard, we both stop and I turn to him.

"Okay, first off, I know you don't trust me. And second....... I really don't give a shit anymore. And you know why? Because I know your sister would hate it. Your sister hates us fighting, so I stopped.-"

"Why?" He questions, "Why do you care?"

"This is where the next part comes in, Tommy. Just hold your role, okay?" I take a deep breath before speaking. "I may have been a jerk, but I still am a gentleman. And I know what happened to her parents, so she has no one but you that I can ask this from. It's practically like your blessing-"

"Your not marrying her!"

"I didn't say that. I'm saying for later on and to tell her that I want her to be mine...... and something else." I mumbled the last part and made sure he couldn't hear me. He gives me that overprotective dad face. He takes a big step towards me until he places his index finger on my chest.

"If you ever hurt her again, Tyler..... I will put you so far into the ground, you'll feel the lave boiling into your skin." he threats. I nod and gulp nervously. "So is that a yes?" I asked. He steps back and crosses his arms over his chest, glaring at me evilly.

"Promise me you won't hurt her, emotionally or physically." he commands. I smile at him. "I wouldn't dream of it, tommy." I say placing a hand on his shoulder and walking past him. "Oh and one last thing!" He yells after me. I look over my shoulder at him. "what?"

"Don't call me Tommy." he says. I smile and nod. Before turning straight and running down the hall,

Towards Max.

Max's POV

I stand at the edge of my truck, leaning my back against it with one door over the other and crossing my arms. I guess I just needed to come out here and get things together. I rub my temples and sigh in frustration. Why are things so confusing with Tyler? Why can't he just be a fucking open book?

You know what, I will just ignore all this. I lean off the truck and turn to go back inside, but bump right into Tyler. He smiled and holds my waist. My hands grip his shoulders. I flush red and I'm sure he see's it. "I need to talk to you." He says. I nod and finally lets me go.

I step back Into my old position, leaning against the truck. "About what?" I asked.

He sighs and scratches the back of his neck. "Well..... I asked your brother and he told me I could. Sorta..... anyway. I need to tell you something that's been on my mind for some time now. I was going to tell you in the car. But then everything happened and I couldn't spit it out."

He shakes his head and runs a hand through his hair and slightly smiles, looking away. "I honesty feel like a coward for not telling you this earlier." He scoffs.

I squint my eyes at him. "Tyler?...... what is it?" I asked. He looks up and meets my eyes. Before biting his lip and stepping to me. My back hit the truck hard and his arms were on both sides of me, trapping me from getting away. His face was close to mine, and even though we've kissed plenty Of times, I still get nervous around this guy.

He still has his bottom lip trapped under his perfect white pearls. My breath hitched and I gulped at how our chests touched. "Tyler?" I slowly say. He smirks, not letting his bottom lip free. "Maxine heart...... I love you."

My

Whole

World

Freezes.

My mouth drops and I'm in complete shock. I wasn't expecting those three, emotional words come from his mouth any day. But I guess I was way wrong with that. I still wasn't sure what he was doing so close to me.

"Princess..... say something." He whispered, putting his forehead to mine. I gulped again. "I-I don't know w-what to say." I whispered. He caresses my cheek with the back of his hand, making me shiver. "Just...... say what your feeling...." He softly whispers, our eyes never leaving each other.

"I feel...... confused honestly. But..... I also feel loved. And cared for." I mumbled. He smiled and rested the same hand on my shoulder. "Thats all I needed to hear." he whispered, before leaning into me fully and kissing me on the lips.
